<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
J2EE is a sophisticated application development platform that provides a
multitude of services and capabilities for application developers, but that
range of features also causes confusion, which often leads to unnecessarily
complex application architectures. In this talk, you will learn how to take
advantage of J2EE's capabilities to develop a simple yet robust architecture
suitable for most enterprise applications. This talk explores the goals of a
solid application architecture that meets today's demanding business
requirements--such as scalability, high availability, and a service-oriented
architecture (SOA). It then uses patterns from popular books to develop an
application architecture that meets these goals and is at least an
appropriate starting point for most enterprise application projects. It then
shows how this architecture can be leveraged for common uses such as web-
and Java-based GUIs, messaging/JMS integration, and Web services.
